Dug an old old file out of my stash and worked up two blades this past week. This one is a smallish 3" blade knife with copper furniture and elk handles off a shed I found two years ago elk hunting in northern NM. Love making these cute knives from old rusted up carbon steel. Thanks for looking. ![[Linked Image]](https://s26.postimg.org/q5ye8oabd/HH_small_file_knife.jpg)

As a maker I like using actual knife steel, higher end stuff. But must say that is the finest example of a knife made from a file I have ever seen. Very well done!!!!

Pretty and looks to be most comfortable in the hand nicely functional.

I don't know about you guys but I can tell within seconds of looking at a knife if I'll like it. Something about certain shapes of blade and of course handle materials.
This one is form and function and art all rolled into one.
All that to say, I instantly loved this knife! And it's hard to stop looking at it......
